Code-Checking Errors

Issue: Your original page appears to have more than one instance of experiment code. This can happen if you reuse pages from previous experiments.

Solution: Check the HTML of your original page to make sure there is only one instance of the experiment code, and that the code is the same as what was generated in step three of your experiment configuration.

Issue: The HTML of your original page needs to have the experiment code immediately after the opening head tag.

Solution: Make sure that you’ve copied the correct code for your experiment, that you’ve copied the entire experiment code, and that you’ve put it right after the opening head tag in the HTML of your original page.

Issue: Your original page does not have the code for this experiment (generated in step three of experiment configuration).

Solution: Make sure that you’ve copied the correct code for your experiment, that you’ve copied the entire experiment code, and that you’ve put it in the correct section of your original page. Also make sure that there is no code from previous experiments on this page.

Your page has cookie-customization code after the experiment code. Cookie-customization code needs to appear before the experiment code. Move the cookie-customization code so it appears before the experiment code.

The Analytics tracking code on this page customizes the cookie domain name; the experiment code on this page does not. Either remove the cookie customization from the tracking code or add it to the experiment code.

The Analytics tracking code on your page includes a customized cookie path; the experiment code does not include this customization. Either remove the cookie customization from the tracking code or add it to the experiment code.

The experiment code on this page customizes the cookie domain name; the Analytics tracking code on this page does not. Either remove the cookie customization from the experiment code or add it to the Analytics tracking code.

The experiment code on your page includes a customized cookie path; the Analytics tracking code does not include this customization. Either remove the cookie customization from the experiment code or add it to the Analytics tracking code.

Issue: Your page appears to use code that has a Analytics web property ID that is not related to this experiment. This can occur if you’ve reused this page from a previous experiment or incorrectly copied HTML from another page.

Solution: Delete your experiment code from this page, then copy your new experiment code and paste it again.

Issue: Your page appears to use JavaScript tags that are no longer generated for Analytics. While these Urchin.js tags work, changing to the most current version of Analytics tracking code can help your pages load faster.

Issue: Content Experiments could not find a link to the official Analytics tracking code on your page. This is usually because the code was incorrectly copied. This can also happen when you modify the code to point to an unofficial URL (which we allow, but cannot validate as working).

Issue: Your original page either has code from a previous experiment or has incomplete code from this experiment.

Solution: Search your page for old experiment code, and remove it. In addition, make sure that you’ve copied the correct code for your experiment, that you’ve copied all the code, and that you’ve put it in the correct section of your original page.

Solution: Make sure your conversion page doesn’t redirect, and that your variation pages do not lead to multiple redirects. In addition, make sure you’ve entered the correct URL for your pages during step one of the experiment configuration.
